Tuesday Afternoon

 Pizza and salad for lunch! Entertainment after lunch was counselor trivia and the kids did fantastic. The first three classes included orienteering, nature art, and animal tracking. I got to check in on each class and take some pictures and am happy to say our Aborn kids are listening and behaving so well. After this first set of classes the kids came back for a quick snack of Sunchips and fruit then headed back out for their second class. Choices included canoeing, birding, and wild wellness. After dinner tonight we are looking forward to being outside for the "nighttime" experience where the students will do some cool experiments in the dark. I will post again later tonight before bed. :)

Tuesday, Sept. 22nd Morning

 We had a fantastic first night! Everyone slept great and the kids have been so well behaved :) This morning for breakfast we had french toast sticks, homefries, bacon, and fruit. There is also a station with a variety of cereals, oatmeal and yogurts if they prefer that. This morning's entertainment after breakfast was a hilarious repeat after me song that kids really got in to! After breakfast they headed out with their field groups and will return soon and have short break before lunch. After lunch today, they have their first two classes, which they got to choose what they wanted to take. I will post about them tonight after they let us know all about them. The weather is gorgeous and the kids just love being outside!

g outside. 

Monday Night

 For dinner we had chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, green beans and chocolate chip cookies for dessert. After a fun music game for entertainment, the kids had a short break and enjoyed playing some soccer, Gaga ball, and tennis. Tonight’s evening activity was called the 4 C challenge…. Courage, cooperation, communication, and caring. The kids are working on these four traits all week. Quiet sing is next then back to the cabins for the night! 

Monday, Sept. 21st

 We made it! The kids had a great time on the bus and were welcomed by waving, friendly counselors as we pulled in. After getting all the luggage of the bus, the kids went into the field for a few quick games and also met their field group leaders. Next, they enjoyed a lunch of cheeseburgers, french-fries and watermelon. After lunch they brought their luggage to the cabins and headed right out for their first field group experience. Will post again tonight!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

              The countdown is on! We leave in just two short weeks! We are looking forward to another great week at Outdoor Classroom.  The experiences the students have and the memories they will make will truly last a lifetime. Some important information:

•        All registration forms are online this year at Outdoor Classroom Registration Forms must be filled out ASAP, but by Monday, Sept. 14^th at the latest. The link has been posted on ParentSquare.
•        We will be leaving Monday, Sept. 21^st from Great Woods Road (Entrance to Lynn Woods) Please arrive between 8:15-8:30am. Students DO NOT go to Aborn that morning.
•        We will return on Friday, Sept. 25th to the same parking lot. We should arrive between 1:30-2:00.   Mrs. McIsaac will send out a message when we are about 30 minutes from home.        
•        Please refer to the attached packing list while packing for camp. It is very important to have a raincoat or poncho because the students will be outside rain or shine! Also, don’t forget a pillow and sleeping bag or blanket.
•        If your child will be bringing medication, it MUST be in the original containers (prescription or over the counter.) Prescription medications must have your child’s name and dosing printed on the label. Outdoor Classroom has basic medications such as Tylenol, cough drops, tums, etc. We need to collect all medication Monday morning so do not pack it in luggage. Medications will be given to the nurse upon arrival and returned to us before leaving on Friday.

Thank-you,

Mrs. Hennessey

Then is was back for a quick lunch of pizza and caesar salad. The bus arrived and we are on our way! Estimated time of arrival is about 2:20 in the same location that we departed from on Monday.

Thursday Afternoon and Evening

 Lots of options at lunch today! Sloppy Joe's, sweet potato fries, full salad bar, fresh fruit, and lemonade. Afternoon classes included wild wellness, canoe making, civilization making and building a geodome. After a very wet afternoon, we had free time in the cabin to dry off and change. Dinner was delicious! Pulled pork, corn on the cob, grilled broccoli and cauliflower, and a full salad bar with brownies for desert. After dinner was skit practice for Thursday Night Live followed by our last quiet sing then back to the cabins to pack. Home tomorrow!
